Alright, I finished my first proper blog post about selective applicative functors!

I lay out the theoretical basis for them and how I claim they should model control flow with exclusive determined choice (which is something the existing formulation failed to capture)

blog.veritates.love/selective_

the key insight necessary to make it work for N-ary branching is to consider arrows (composable profunctors) instead of functors in isolation, because casing on an Either is about the domain not the codomain

the resulting structure is related to near-semirings, but in a different way than Alternative is (as that encodes nondeterministic choice)

The UK Online Safety Act is a mess. MPs are debating the petition for its repeal now.

ORG calls for a rights-based approach:

Limit its scope to minimise threats to freedom of expression/small sites, and regulate age verification providers to protect privacy.

React2Shell 취약점을 제 관점에서 간략히 정리한 글을 공유해봅니다.

특정 프로젝트가 취약점의 영향권에 들지 않는다는걸 설명하는게 목적인 글이라, 다소 가볍게 작성된 점을 감안하여 봐주시면 감사하겠습니다!

I wish I had ( ) , I mean like -fe . That would allow me to sort my subscription feed & browse sorted feed, to see ONLY relevant posts (on topic updates follow-up's?).
Well, the mastodon feature of "LISTS" tries something similiar by allowing to make a sorted list of people\subscription, sorted by your custom category/topic. But it doesn't include . Each must be browsed separately, individually, manually, and there is no feature of list of tags in mastodon.
Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed and other like implementations allow you to have topics-threads, but each thread does not replicate very well across multiple servers/instances. Can't be easely crossposted ( by pinging multiple category-bots). And doesn't replicate & easily-searchable as classic mastodon .

Other things I don't like:
- twitter like reposts. they make you feel you subscribed not to the original "reposter" friend, but to "reposted content" that you never subscribed for. the p2p architecture of () kinda eliminates that, they don't have nor show reposts. you see there only original posts, original content, of friends you follow. Kinda helps to slow down the mind from informational overflow. You can opt out to see posts of friend's friends, if you want more. Tags are also supported there.
- threads consist only of information aggretator url sharing in reddit like clones. Without having OP OC like in bbs|AgoraRoad , they just silo you to clickbait to other web sites.

I was sitting at a birthday dinner with my in-laws yesterday as we talked about recent global, national, & local news, unable to do anything but laugh at the darkness of what we were talking about.

There are the high-level horrors & then there are the local businesses closing up. And they are related. And it's just like, I almost wish the problems here weren't so clear & obvious.

We can sit around a kitchen table & point out the absurdity. We can connect the dots easily enough.

I hope all those devs who went "I don't need to optimize, there's plenty of RAM" are going to get slapped with complaints about bad performance because the software runs like shit on new computers whose RAM size traveled back to 2015
